Looks fine if you want to book in advance but does take away some of the romance of a spontaneous visit, which could now mean a longer line because all other people have booked on line in advance.

They have pre-booking for the London Eye and the Tower of Pisa, too (just the first two that popped into my head) -- but for both of those, I've had no problem at all walking up and buying a ticket on the spur of the moment.
In London, I think my wait time was 30 minutes -- just enough time for a cup of coffee that crisp but sunny and gorgeous November day (perfect weather to enjoy the view).
In Pisa, we had just enough time to wander the Campo de Fiore and have lunch.
If they set up the Tour Eiffel system like that, it will likely mean a far less stressful visit -- you won't have to stand in line for more than a few minutes for anything!

We took the teens to the Eiffel Tower today at about noon only to find that they had 'delayed opening'. There was a sign stating that there had been a strike yesterday but no info as to when they would re-open. Union representatives were there with a few banners and we were briefly interviewed by an agency reporter from Associated Press asking how we felt about this. We just said that it was part of the French experience and did not put us off as there were so many wonderful things to see.
